What languages should i start with?

I'm trying to teach myself to code and wanted to see what your preferences were to start with aside from CSS and HTML. Any thoughts?

It depends on what you want to build:

Front End Web Development = JavaScript Mobile = Java, Swift, Objective-C Data Science = Python Games = C# Backend Web Development = JavaScript, Ruby, Java, C#, Python

The lists are nowhere near exhaustive, but should give you an idea of what languages would be used in different domains.
